Chapter 942
Ancestor Dian Alstreim cast a look into the northern direction, his gaze heading towards the distance where he could vaguely see the fleeing Aqua Flood Dragon before it completely disappeared. It was a no-brainer that the Aqua Flood Dragon would probably never step into the Alstreim Family again, at least until the Conferred Queen left this place.
Even in the case that the Conferred Queen left this place, he mused that the Aqua Flood Dragon would still refuse to invade this place because of the fact that the Conferred Queen might pursue if it caused destruction to the Alstreim Family again.
’Truly… What kind of dragon bloodline does she possess to make the Aqua Flood Dragon tremble like this…? Is the Zlatan Family’s Golden Dragon Bloodline even capable of this?’
Heaving a sigh inwardly, he commanded a few Grand Elders to take care of the situation, and another one to track the Aqua Flood Dragon so that they could keep tabs on and be wary of it. Although it retreated in fear of the Conferred Queen, there’s no telling when if it would crazily strike back. He commanded them to be cautious in the pursuit before shooting towards the Purple Guest Palace in full speed.
He quickly caught up with them since they seemed to be slowly traveling for some reason, perhaps waiting for the Conferred Queen to get tired of waiting for them at the Purple Guest Palace.
“Are you sure you want to do this in front of the Conferred Queen?” Ancestor Dian Alstreim sent a soul transmission to the two of them.
“Hmph! Isn’t that why you kept Daniuis Alstreim in Purple Guest Palace!? Don’t act like this isn’t you doing, Dian Alstreim!” Ancestor Xanbas Goldsky fumed.
’Took you long enough to figure out…’
Ancestor Dian Alstreim inwardly lampooned, “What do you mean, muscle-head?”
“Haven’t I already told you that Daniuis Alstreim confessed that he knows nothing about the aboriginals?”
“Your words aren’t believable…” Ancestor Tirea Snow coldly spoke.
Ancestor Dian Alstreim’s expression changed as he incredulously gazed at Tirea Snow.
“Say that again!?”
Ancestor Tirea Snow looked stopped as she turned to look Ancestor Dian Alstreim. Both of them stopped at the same time, and Ancestor Xanbas Goldsky headed a few kilometers forward before he stopped himself wondering what they were conversing through soul transmission.
“I said that your words aren’t quite believable…” Ancestor Tirea Snow frowned as she felt incredible anger brewing within Dian Alstreim.
“You…” Ancestor Dian Alstreim looked at her in disbelief as his ever-pale expression trembled. He was extremely disappointed that he opened his mouth, trying to say something that invoked a million emotions in him, but no words came out. His lips trembled as he clenched his hands to calm himself down.
It took him a few seconds to relax, but he sent her a soul transmission and left towards the Purple Guest Palace.
“I was a fool to have kept waiting for you!”
Ancestor Tirea Snow’s brows heavily furrowed as she felt her heart turn heavy. She watched the leaving silhouette of Dian Alstreim with a complex gaze while she was feeling heated all of a sudden.
What was this man saying all of a sudden? And why did she react to his words in an inconceivable manner?
She couldn’t understand, and neither did she feel like understanding these complex emotions, which made the current her all the more uncomfortable. She didn’t like this feeling at all and even felt that she had to leave this place as soon as possible.
Nevertheless, she still headed to the Purple Guest Palace to get what she came here for!
In ten short seconds, they arrived at the destination and stood in front of the fifteenth-floor’s entrance.
Contrary to their expectations, there was no Conferred Queen or her Protector on this floor or over the side of the palace. Their expressions changed as they inwardly felt that this was their chance. They headed inside, floating in the corridor before they managed to make into the hall where they had initially perceived that their target was here.
A person paced around the hall. It looked as if he was extremely worried about something. Through the corner of his eyes, he caught sight of the people who arrived in front of him before his eyes lit up in anger.
“Where are my children!?”
“Hehe!” Ancestor Xanbas Goldsky chuckled, “I would need you to answer my question before I answer yours, Daniuis Alstreim.”
However, at this time, Ancestor Dian Alstreim did seal the hall with a formation that blocked the sound from spreading outwards with a token in his hand. Rather than the master token of this palace, it was the normal token that was given to guests. He quickly hid it as he used it.
It garnered approving nods from Ancestor Tirea Snow and Ancestor Xanbas Goldsky since they didn’t want the Conferred Queen or her Protector to hear their conversation.
“Is it about the aboriginals?” Daniuis Alstreim clenched his teeth. However, since Ancestor Dian Alstreim was here with him, he felt emboldened.
He believed that Ancestor Dian Alstreim, who was in the know, would support him if things were to go south.
“Haven’t I already said that don’t know much about them!” he fumed.
“Kid, watch your mouth.” Ancestor Xanbas Goldsky’s eyes flashed with a dangerous light.
“You!?” Daniuis Alstreim flinched in terror that momentarily took over him.
His thought process slowed down from feeling the mountainous pressure fall on him. However, seeing that nothing happened and Ancestor Dian Alstreim did not make a move, he knew that he was just utterly intimidated at that moment.
“We want to know what happened from your own mouth. As for the details you said to your Alstreim Family, we haven’t heard about it.” Ancestor Tirea Snow spoke in a cold voice.
Daniuis Alstreim looked at Ancestor Dian Alstreim, and seeing him nod his head in compliance; he hesitated for a few seconds before he opened his mouth.
“Ancestors, I don’t know anything about the aboriginals other than the fact that they killed that Grand Elder for provoking them. I invited them to my hideout, and they accepted. However, after a few Elders of the Tripartite Alliance attacked my hideout, they all ended up dying by their hands. After that, they all left somewhere.”
“They didn’t tell me where!”
“At that time, I didn’t even know that they were aboriginals as I only viewed them as benefactors who saved my life! Only after Patriarch Eldric Alstreim interrogated me did I know that they were aboriginals.”
Daniuis Alstreim heaved a sigh as if he made a hard decision, “You people are making me betray my benefactors by having my children as hostages. Is this how a Ninth Stage Powerhouse behaves?”
Ancestor Tirea Snow frowned as she didn’t like what she was hearing, but on the other hand, Ancestor Xanbas Goldsky laughed.
“Are you sure that’s all you know?”
“Yes!” Daniuis Alstreim clenched his fists to stop the shaking. He appeared angry, but inwardly he was afraid of lying right at their intimidating gazes. The pressure he was facing remained enormous enough to shake him inside, and he didn’t know that if he could lie his way out, making him sweat.
